Lille announced on Thursday afternoon the signing of Ethan Mbappe, who has joined the French club for the next three seasons. The midfielder, who has his first professional contract, was a free agent after finishing his time at Paris Saint-Germain.
Ethan Mbappe’s journey away from his brother begins. After Kylian’s departure from PSG to Real Madrid was announced, the young French talent began to consider the possibility of moving elsewhere. In the end, the 17-year-old has opted to join Lille.
“Ethan, put on your new armour and wear the colours of Lille. LOSC are delighted to announce the signing of Mbappe’s first professional contract with Lille. The French midfielder has signed a three-year contract with us,” reads the statement from the French club.
Ethan Mbappe, who has grown up in PSG’s academy since the Under-12s, has always fought for a professional contract and has finally achieved it, but outside Paris. Lille, who were interested in him from the outset, have put him on the table for the next three seasons.
The first objective they have in mind is to reach the group stage of the Champions League, although they will first have to face an opponent in the qualifiers to achieve that goal.
Kylian’s brother is about to embark on a major challenge at a top club in France after his time at PSG, where he made five appearances for the first team (84 minutes).
